Intro pitch

1. The Forest
By Jason Brown & Jacob Dale

2. Synopsis
The introduction to our film is used to raise questions about the
main character (the girl in the red coat) and how and why the
corpse is in the shed and why is it left in the circumstances it is.
Many items and scenes in the introduction will become
important to heighten the story and surrealism of the film.
These items and scenes such as pecking birds and the
destroying of a spiders web will be brought up regularly to
make the view remember what happened around these events.
The intro is meant to endues an emotional response from the
viewer. There is also an underlining point to the introduction
that features hints that will be part of the main plot to the film.

3. Characters & Creative
ideas
The girl – This girl is the main character in the intro. She is
seen walking through the forest collecting mushrooms for
purposes unknown. She is looking round the environment
expressionlessly but is clearly interested in her surroundings.
Her origins are unknown and she carries an air of mystery as
she walks through the forests scaling fallen logs and jumping
streams. At one point she destroys a spiders web, essentially
destroying its habitat and home, this shows a lot about the girl’s
personality. She also carries a strange scrap book filled with
disturbing drawings, she uses this to identify the mushrooms.
Corpse – An unidentified corpse is found surrounded by a
pentagram. When the girl sees this she is more comfortable
than scared.

4. Locations
The majority of the introduction is set in the forest
(the safe haven for the girl), although the body is
found in a ominous shed in the middle of some
featureless fields. The bare fields are meant to make
the view feel naked with nowhere to hide, a
juxtaposition to the dense forest.

5. Appealing to target
audience
The target audience for our film will be people aged 15+. Our
film will contain minor gore this gore will have the camera fixed
to it for a while showing its brutality. There is also a slight
reference to drugs and drug use. The introduction will also
have themes of mental health.
